Veternica Cave is the oldest Zagreb archaeological site. That is to say, within its dark caverns it keeps the secrets of past life. From the Neanderthal, Romans and medieval robbers to contemporary adventurers.Veternica Cave with its 7 kilometres of canals is the sixth largest cave in Croatia. Although this may be true, only the first 380 metres are open to visitors.
Not only is the cave the sixth largest in Croatia. With its more than seven kilometres of branching canals. But it is still unexplored and growing as speleologists discover new caverns.
Besides the cave bear, other long-extinct animals left their traces within the Cave. For example cave lions, leopards, cave hyenas, rhinoceros, wild cattle and giant deer’s.
